 | | Updated (03/24/05): Amid widespread allegations of fraud, protests in Kyrgyzstan, concentrated last week to the south of the country, have spread to the north, where the capital Bishkek is located. |
 | | Kyrgyzstan is a small, landlocked "republic," located at the eastern edge of Central Asia, bordering occupied East Turkestan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, which emerged an independent nation following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. |
 | | The Argus, which specializes in Central Asia and rightly so, has a series of articles that cover issues of mediation, police activities, the perspective of regional and neighboring powers, the likelihood of the conflict spreading, and the ethnic factors that are perhaps behind some of the unrest. |
